Overview

This article walks you through the prerequisites for installing Print Gateway on multiple machines using Microsoft Intune.

Applicable to 

BarTender Cloud

Information

The most common way to install BarTender Print Gateway is to do so directly via the print screen in BarTender Cloud, as described in this article. Doing so will preconfigure the Print Gateway with the necessary token for a seamless experience.

However, if you need to install Print Gateway remotely or have to do so for a large number of machines, this approach becomes impractical.

In such cases, you may want to remotely configure your machines using a tool like Intune.

To do so, you will need to manually request the API access token in order to connect the Print Gateway to your BarTender Cloud tenant. For more information on access tokens, please see this article.

Preparing the Access Token and Installer

These are the steps you will need to follow to retrieve the API access token and the Print Gateway installer:

  1. First, you will need to retrieve a temporary API access token by logging into BarTender Cloud with an administrator account. 

  2. Using this temporary token, you can request a Print Gateway access token with the command-line prompt below, replacing <accesstoken> with the temporary token:

    curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer <accesstoken>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}' "<ClusterUrl>/api/client
  3. Copy the access token in the response and paste it into a text file and make sure the file is named UserAccessConfigurationInstall.txt.
  4. Download the Print Gateway installer from one of the following links:
  5. You are now ready to orchestrate the remote installation using Intune. 

Guidelines for Intune Deployment

This section provides some general advice. Please keep it in mind when designing your installation script to make sure the Printer Gateway is installed successfully.  

In order to avoid any installation issues, install Print Gateway using the default installation path on all systems.

After installation, Print Gateway needs to be configured to use the access token for authentication with your BarTender Cloud tenant:

  1. Copy the file UserAccessConfigurationInstall.txt into the following directory:
    • C:\Program Files\Seagull\PrintGateway
  2. Restart the BarTender Cloud Print Gateway Service.
  3. Once the file is added, authentication should be enabled automatically.

If you need detailed instructions on how to use Microsoft Intune, please refer to Microsoft's support documentation here.
